chris christie had this to say in new jersey. take a look. >> rather than having stalemate and deadlock on this issue, which is where it will lead. i will not sign it. it will be vetoed. let the people of new jersey decide who is right for the state. put the question on the ballot this fall, in the hands of the people. people would have been happy to have a referendum, you know, on civil rights rather than fighting and dying in the streets in the south. >> oh. >> yes. >> maybe i have been reading too much but my sense is that was not the case. >> we should have said he's right. look, the last time new jersey put a civil rights question up to the people for a ballot vote was in 1915 when people were asked to vote on whether women should have the right to vote. the men voted it down. >> that's right. it's a rigged -- >> it is wrong to be voting on fundamental freedom. your freedom of speech, your freedom of religion, my freedom to marry. >> why are you doing it? >> it's the system we have. we want to end discrimination. where we ar

this morning on "morning joe" new jersey governor chris christie made some very, very dire assessments to what he expects the damage will be in atlantic city and on the jersey shore. take a listen. >> i think what we'll find, unfortunately, when we get to the jersey shore today is total devastation. and that's the real concern. because not only is it people's homes and private property but also you have the tourism industry in new jersey which is one of our biggest industries. we're going to have to work hard to make sure we're ready for next summer at the jersey shore. >> reporter: now, of course, the casino industry the biggest industry in atlantic city. those 12 flagship casinos have been closed throughout the week. they cost about $50 million in lost revenue during irene and the expectation was that because the season was a little bit softer, maybe it wouldn't be as bad. now it's clear that even though as christie called it the damage is incalculable right now it will be much steeper than irene. hopefully we'll get more from christie later. a few other buzz words, search and rescue
